Manage episode 483925439 series 3236670
This week’s episode features Gerard Barron, executive chairman and CEO of The Metals Company, in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli on the controversial topic of deep-sea mining. Barron outlines why he believes extracting metals from the ocean floor presents a more sustainable alternative to land-based mining—especially for critical base metals like nickel. He also addresses the environmental concerns surrounding deep-sea operations and explains how his company navigates regulatory uncertainty, including how U.S. standards can be applied even as the International Seabed Authority continues to shape its framework.
All this and more with host Adrian Pocobelli.
This week’s Spotlight features Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining Gold, discussing the company’s flagship Springpole and Duparquet gold projects in Canada. Wilton shares insights into their development plans, resource potential, and what sets these assets apart in today’s gold market. Learn more at: https://firstmininggold.com
